I plan on doing very little to her in preparation for riding her in the spring beyond cleaning her up and repacking bearings. I might touch up a few spots to slow any decay that may strike (if I find the right color touch up paint). Where could I find touch up paint to match my blue 1979 Suburban?

I have decided to name her and will probably put her name (see Title) on the top tube. I was thinking of just getting the lettering from the local *mart... But, I wonder. Does anybody know of a place to get reasonably priced custom decals?

I'm envisioning white Schwinn type block lettering that has her name, then below it in smaller lettering something like, "100% Vintage Gas Pipe" the same width as the name. Then trailing behind, a little white something to indicate speed... like a flame or ???

Oh well, time for school!
